MONDAY BREAKFAST

Most events were canceled this year, but one that has continued – with an interruption, yes, and a change of venue, yes – is the Monday Breakfast in Vancouver.  This regular weekly breakfast is something I started in 2015 when I still owned the shop, Commonwealth Classics Ltd. in Vancouver.  All of us who worked there would meet at Christine’s Restaurant on Evergreen Blvd. every Monday at 8 a.m. and have breakfast together before opening the shop for the day.

Customers were also welcome to join us, and there were in fact about half a dozen who showed up anywhere from almost always to very seldom.

These breakfasts continued after I sold the shop in 2017, and then this year the city government in Vancouver closed down restaurants (and so much more) because of THE VIRUS, and we didn’t have any place to meet for some months.

Then THE VIRUS went away and the government let some restaurants open again (wait a minute, THE VIRUS didn’t go away, but somehow it became all right to reopen restaurants again).  Now the problem was that Christine’s changed their schedule when they reopened, and they decided to be closed on Mondays.

Anyway, I remembered an old time downtown cafe in Vancouver and we started meeting there.  Actually it’s just me and Pete and David, but if you’d like to join us, please do.  That’s Mondays at 8 a.m. at Joe Brown’s Cafe on Main Street in downtown Vancouver.  Here’s a pic of David’s Healey there a few weeks ago:

As you can see, parking is not a problem.  Remember to bring your facemask though.  You’ll need it to walk in.  You can take it off after you sit down, because as the science shows, THE VIRUS is very contagious when walking, but not at all when sitting.
